Earlier I was looking at some European web pages. I decided to look at some Scandanavian web pages. Since some of you here live in Sweden I decided to look at some Swedish web pages. So, after looking at some web pages about Sweden and about the Nobel Prize, I, um, uh, "happened" upon some, uh, "other" web pages. I decided to come back here, log in and ask about them. Sadly, I can only speak English, however, I was wondering - If I was in, say, Stockholm and wandered into the palace of the King and if they were having a party and if I wandered up and loudly said: "SPERMA HUNGRIGA HEMMAFRUN HELENA BLIR ORDENT LIGT UPPKNULLAND OCH NERSPRUTED AV MOTS & GRENNENTUMAS!!" would they be shocked? Would I get my ass deported right quick? Just wondering! :uhh:

Well, then, my most humble apologies to His Majesty! 'Scuse me, I just had to get up off the floor after I finished laughing! Whoa! Yeah, I think that they probably would arrest me, put me in chains and have me on the first ship or plane leaving Sweden! ;> His Excellency, the Governor of Virginia would probably kick me out of Virginia too! It's hard to type, I'm laughing so hard! Anyway, I thank Krof and B S for your kind translations! I greatly admire your multilingual talents! May God bless Sweden and Denmark - great nations, great people!

I think you'd probably just be shown out of the palace, and in an extreme case, maybe put in the "drunken cell" for the day or fined a few hundred SEK.

Hell, one hears similar things on regular Swedish television all the time. It's a different culture and they possess none of the hang-ups us Americans have about nudity and sex. Everything they show on TV is unedited and uncensored. They just wait until later to show the really racy films. Just last night I watched the excellent film Monster's Ball, totally uncencored and unedited. Full frontal Halley Berry/Billy Bob Thornton wild sex. It was great.

As you have probably heard, there has been a lot of debate about immigration in the United States recently. Most Americans don't object to immigration, they are just concerned about terrorists and criminals, about stopping them from entering. Anyway, on a recent news program about immigration, there was a presentation about the Netherlands and their immigration policies. According to the news program, apparently nowadays the Netherlands requires people who want to immigrate there to watch a video presentation about their nation in which they "let it all hang out" -literally. Due to Federal Communications Commission standards, they had to put little black bands, on the screen, across certain body parts and so forth. Anyway, point being, the Netherlands tells people that they have a rather, um, "open" culture and that if someone cannot accept that, they should not come to live in the Netherlands. Although things have gotten more open in the United States in recent years, there are still a lot of limitations about what can be shown on TV or discussed on the radio. If someone wants to see sex on TV, they have to go to one of the pay per view satellite or cable TV channels to watch it. I guess it could be considered "electronic prostitution" so to speak, ha, ha!

You're very welcome for the gift. I mean that sincerely about you being a great translator! I wish that I was multilingual like you and truly admire your ability to translate like that! And please let me say that I was just laughing at myself and not at the good Swedish King and people whom I greatly admire! Occasionally I have seen various web sites in languages other than English and wondered what was being said. On one web site I used to visit, some guy was always submitting pornography from Holland and Brazil and I would wonder what was being said about the pictures (although I was usually able to take a good guess, ha, ha)!
